ABOUT MERIT
ABOUT US
MERIT Contractors Association, founded in 1988, is the only open shop association in Saskatchewan. MERIT Saskatchewan is part of a Canada-wide network and a founding member of MERIT Canada. We are proud to support the open shop construction community, over 85% of the contractors in the province.
MERIT Saskatchewan was originally established by six contractors (a combination of generals, mechanical and electrical) to promote open shop contracting. Since then, our membership has expanded significantly and includes contractors from every segment of the industry.
The force that binds these various contractors together is their commitment to the MERIT philosophy and their desire to provide the best for their employees.
In 2020, MERIT Saskatchewan introduced the Saskatchewan Construction Industry Plan (SCIP) which offers a comprehensive and competitively-priced benefit plan to members. Wholly owned and operated by MERIT Saskatchewan, SCIP is the plan of choice for some of the province’s premier contractors.
